Planting Near Oaks

Question

What are some shrubs or flowers that I can plant about 10 feet from a 70-year-old oak tree? I’d like to create a garden area of sorts since I can’t grow grass well, even 15 feet from the tree. Any suggestions on what would work? It’s a part shade area.

Answer 1

You need plants that will grow in dry shade, and there are many. This article will help: https://www.gardeningknowhow.com/special/xeriscape/xeriscape-shade-plants-plants-for-dry-shade.htm
